00:00:00.000 Well, this is breaking news. And honestly, this is great news for legal gun owners in Canada.
00:00:06.320 What you're watching right now is the gun grab actually starting to collapse in real time.
00:00:12.900 And here's the part the liberals didn't want you to notice. This thing was supposed to be
00:00:17.540 locked in like a done deal, finished, no pushback from the public. But now it's actually being
00:00:26.020 challenged at the highest level in the country. You see, the challenge to this Trudeau era gun
00:00:33.360 ban and its confiscation program is now headed to the Supreme Court. And let's be real for a second,
00:00:40.680 a lot of people, myself included, didn't think he would even make it there. Like,
00:00:45.680 it wouldn't even be heard. Because in Canada, of course, the courts are in favor of the liberal
00:00:51.880 government so the expectation was pretty simple like it's not even going to make it to court
00:00:56.720 but it it is and that alone is a massive crack in the system and let's not forget like seriously
00:01:05.900 let's not forget what this actually was over 2 500 firearms banned overnight no criminal weapons
00:01:14.920 no black market handguns, legal rifles, hunting rifles, shotguns owned by licensed trained
00:01:24.220 Canadians.
00:01:25.180 They targeted those people, while at the same time, criminals are still out there using
00:01:31.280 illegal handguns like they always have, actually more than ever.
00:01:36.500 So people started asking, who is this really about?
00:01:39.860 And this is where things start to shift. Because Canadians didn't just sit back, they pushed back. You've got thousands of people showing up, even in Quebec. Yeah, Quebec, coming out against confiscation. That's not small. That's definitely not nothing. That right there is momentum. And it's not just regular people.
00:02:06.220 You've got police leadership, entire departments, provinces like Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, even Manitoba, and others saying, we're not on board with this and we're not enforcing it.
00:02:19.320 And then this happened.
00:02:21.360 And this is where it gets really interesting.
00:02:25.540 On a quiet suburban street in Vaughan, Ontario, three masked men are seen breaking into a home, later fleeing.
00:02:34.620 After police say the homeowner fired his gun in self-defense.
00:02:39.240 You know, neighbors scared and me scared.
00:02:43.780 A suspect now identified as Treston Casanova-Allman was dropped off at a hospital with a gunshot wound
00:02:50.360 and faces several charges including robbery with a firearm.
00:02:54.620 But no charges were laid against the homeowner.
00:02:57.360 Just through the investigation and through that evidence,
00:02:59.900 we were able to determine that no charges would be laid against him.
00:03:03.560 Ontario Premier Doug Ford applauded that assessment, suggesting the homeowner could have gone further.
00:03:10.560 Congratulations for shooting this guy. Should have shot him a couple more times as far as I'm concerned.
00:03:15.560 The opposition leader raised concerns over the seeming support for violence.
00:03:20.560 For him to be telling people to shoot each other rather than him fixing the problems, to me it seems like more nonsense.
00:03:31.560 If you break into someone's home...
00:03:33.840 The premier has supported the use of self-defense in the past.
00:03:38.380 Last year, a man in Lindsay, Ontario was charged with assaulting an alleged intruder
00:03:43.000 who broke into his apartment armed with a crossbow.
00:03:46.440 Those charges were later dropped, but the case sparked a national debate about self-defense.
00:03:52.180 It is really refreshing to see police do some actual investigating in a case like this
00:03:57.000 rather than just arresting.
00:03:58.520 this criminal defense lawyer says self-defense is allowed but the force used must be reasonable
00:04:05.300 it's very simple in canada despite how complex it can be when it gets to court which is
00:04:10.420 you can use as much force as is necessary to match or respond the threat to you
00:04:16.340 and or a loved one so you've got a homeowner who defends his home shoots an intruder and what
00:04:23.920 happens? Zero charges, none whatsoever. And then you've got Doug Ford, Premier of Ontario,
00:04:31.820 publicly backing him. Think about that for a second. This is Canada where people have been
00:04:38.300 scared to defend their homes forever because they don't want to be charged. But now that
00:04:44.780 conversation is changing in real time. You're hearing more about self-defense, being able to
00:04:51.780 stand your ground, even talk of castle law like they have in the United States, it's starting to
00:04:57.960 gain traction here in Canada. They say after the break-in, a resident accessed a legally owned and
00:05:04.720 properly stored firearm and shot at the suspect. Suspect is recovering in hospital after being
00:05:09.600 shot by a resident during a home invasion in Vaughan.
00:05:20.800 Police sharing footage of the incident at a home on Carville Woods Circle shortly before
00:05:26.040 one o'clock this morning.
00:05:27.540 Police say after the break-in, a resident accessed a legally owned and properly stored firearm
00:05:33.100 and shot at the suspects who got away in a black pickup truck.
00:05:36.580 Well, not long after a person was dropped off at a hospital with a gunshot wound.
00:05:40.660 So when you zoom out for a second, this isn't just one thing happening.
00:05:46.260 This is pressure from every direction, from the courts, from the public, from provinces.
00:05:53.940 And then there's real world consequences.
00:05:57.460 That's how this stuff falls apart.
00:05:59.780 Not all at once, but piece by piece with defiance from the public.
00:06:06.160 Weeks ahead of the federal government's assault-style firearms compensation program closing,
00:06:11.900 a door may be opening for gun owners and businesses in Saskatchewan.
00:06:15.960 An amendment to the Saskatchewan Firearms Act will allow for now-prohibited firearms
00:06:20.300 to be stored on behalf of the province through a certificate of exemption.
00:06:24.760 You know, we are approaching this new prime minister and his government on a case-by-case basis.
00:06:29.560 This would be one of the points where we don't agree.
00:06:31.180 True, I don't think the provincial government can force the federal government to pay compensation if they don't want to.
00:06:38.820 They can definitely say it's, you know, it's, they're worth this much and we're going to store them.
00:06:45.600 And we're going to store them in the individual's home until you pay the compensation, which could be indefinitely.
00:06:52.360 First in Ottawa, you know, the Supreme Court agrees to hear challenges to your government's firearm ban.
00:06:57.420 The colleagues are wondering what's your reaction or your concern for what this could mean for the future question to the policy?
00:07:03.880 Look, the Supreme Court has given leave for a hearing on elements of Bill C-21 and the regulations there too.
00:07:16.660 So we look forward to defending our position at the Supreme Court.
00:07:20.780 Canada is a rule of law country.
00:07:22.560 We are bound by the decisions of the court and we look forward to robustly defending the government's position, which we're very confident will be in our favor.
00:07:33.660 So now I've got to ask you, is this the beginning of the end for the gun confiscation program here in Canada or do they try to double down?
